In response to the global challenge posed by plastic pollution, plastic credits have emerged as a viable solution to connect public and private sector finance with specific activities that address the crisis. By quantifying and certifying the results of plastic pollution reduction initiatives, plastic credits provide a means for organisations to financially support these projects and contribute to the transition to a circular economy. According to a recent report by The World Bank titled 𝗨𝗻𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗯𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗖𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗶𝘀𝗢𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗲𝘀, 𝗥𝗶𝘀𝗸𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝘁𝘀, the potential benefits of plastic crediting, such as increased funding for plastic waste management projects, enhanced accountability and transparency, and the promotion of sustainable practices could bridge the financing gap needed by countries as they seek viable solutions to the plastics crisis. As we continue building momentum towards developing a legally binding instrument, we explore the adoption of plastic credits as a way to unlock public and private sector finance to address plastic pollution.
